After arriving at the hospital, the doctor arranged for Miss Li to draw blood to check the endocrine hormone and did B -ultrasound. The test results show that Miss Li’s follicle stimulus (FSH) is as high as 50, and ovarian functional hormones (AMH) are only 0.025, indicating that the ovarian function is low.
The doctor combined with Miss Li’s symptoms, the doctor’s diagnosis result was premature ovarian failure. The doctor said that Miss Li’s ovarian function is equivalent to people who are about to be menopause. They may stop menopause in the future and cannot even get pregnant.
Miss Li was startled. Why did she enter menopause at a young age? What is the premature ovarian failure?
1. The aging of a woman usually starts from the ovaries
The ovarian is the important glands of women and is mainly responsible for endocrine and reproductive functions. Under normal circumstances, when women are 8-11 years old, with the advent of the first menstruation, the ovaries begin to secrete estrogen to promote the development of women’s second sexual characteristics, and the body gradually becomes “feminine”;
By the age of 18, ovarian function is gradually developing, periodic menstruation and ovulation will become regular. At the age of 20-30, ovarian function enters a strong period, and it is also the best age for fertility;
After the age of 30, ovarian function will begin to go downhill. After 35 years of age, a cliff-like decline will be shown, and the aging speed will be accelerated. From the age of 45-50, the ovarian function will begin to decline naturally, the ovaries will gradually shrink and stop and stop Ovulation; at the age of 60, ovarian function will be fully exhausted.
Premature ovarian failure means that women’s ovarian functional failure generally refers to the phenomenon of incomplete ovarian function and decreased ovarian reserve function before the age of 40.
The common manifestations of premature ovarian failure are as follows:
1. Irregular menstruation
Patients with premature ovarian failure will cause menstrual cycle disorders (early or delayed menstruation), decreased menstrual flow, and even amenorrhea in advance.
2. Urinary and reproductive system problems
Premature ovarian failure can cause the ovaries to be unable to secrete sufficient estrogen. When the estrogen level in women decreases, pubic hair and axillary hair will fall off, vaginal dryness, decreased sexual desire, and repeated urinary tract infections and gynecological inflammation.
3. Infertility
Premature ovarian failure can lead to a decrease in ovarian reserve function, decreased eggs, poor quality, ovarian cannot discharge the eggs normally, and then seriously affect fertility. Patients will be difficult to get pregnant, and even repeated embryos (abortion).
4. Menopausal symptoms
Patients with premature ovarian failure will have menopausal symptoms in advance, including sleep problems (insomnia, sweating at night), changes in emotion and cognitive function (irritability, anxiety and depression, unconfident) Bone pain and fractures), arrhythmia, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
5. Immune system disorder
Many patients with premature ovarian failure will also be accompanied by some autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid diseases, diabetes, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
2. These signals also indicate that women have entered the aging period
After a woman starts to aging, there will be some changes in the whole body. The most obvious aging symbols are the following:
